Lower Keys Flush With Permit

The most impressive thing about the results of this past weekend’s Mercury Southernmost Light-Tackle Anglers Masters was the number of permit seen. “[Tournament director Gary] Ellis said teams reported schools of up to 100 permit roving the flats. Bill Cullen caught and released six. Two anglers on Capt. Tom Roland’s skiff caught eight between them.” John Geiger in the Florida Keys Keynoter. (Thanks to reader David Dalu for this link.)
